I think you are very confused.
I do not overtake every bicycle and leave 1 foot gap. That does not happen.
I have done it, but very rarely and involving low speeds.
I suppose it comes down to skill of driving, mine is very high. You dont drive so wouldnt understand.

Presumably this is just trolling, but if not, perhaps I should explain that I do drive. Like most cyclists, I drive, having passed the same driving test as every other driver.

Most of us think that we're great drivers, and most of us are wrong. If you think that there are any circumstances where a 1 foot gap is safe, you are neither a skilled driver nor a courteous driver.

But again, you avoid the question - what is so urgent about your overtake that you can't wait 30 or 60 seconds to do it safely and legally.

You be careful out there. Always keep it real and show some courtesy.

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias wherein relatively unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their ability to be much higher than is accurate. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to accurately evaluate their own ability level. Conversely, highly skilled individuals may underestimate their relative competence, erroneously assuming that tasks that are easy for them are also easy for others.[1]

David Dunning and Justin Kruger of Cornell University have postulated that the effect is the result of internal illusion in the unskilled, and external misperception in the skilled: "The miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others."

As has been said, if you think 1 foot is enough, then you are not a competent driver.

1 foot gap and happens everyday, and the statistics prove its not exceptionally dangerous. Just look at cyclist deaths. Very low. Cycling is not a dangerous pastime.

Yer man on the bike was just looking for an argument and chickened out. A better outcome would have been the driver catching the bike with the kick and both of taking a faceplant.

I'm sorry but someone who thinks that it's acceptable to overtake a pedal bike leaving only 1 foot is acceptable because it happens everyday is not only an idiot but a bad driver. Furthermore, If that incompetent driver considers that they are skilled as a motorist, they are clearly suffering from a cognitive bias.

Firstly, I dont think you understand cognitive bias.
Secondly, I am not the idiot here, see Firstly.
Thirdly, I am an excellent driver. never had a point, a fine, any accident.
Hooray for me.
1 foot my eye.:pac:

What does 1 foot my eye mean?

1 foot is what you think is a reasonable distance to overtake cyclists. Right?

Ok, enough sly digs. We're done here unless somebody else wants to talk about something other than how long 1 foot is.
